I booked a shuttle to Panama with this company and I had to cancel due to a death. I contacted them immediately to request a refund on the 25th May to which they eventually responded with the fact I will receive a full refund in 1-2 months but it’s been over 2 months and I haven’t heard back from them ever again despite chasing via WhatsApp and email every week since June! It’s now 28th July. I Do not recommend this as they have stolen $180. On our travels over 50 people have said they had the same thing happen using this company.

Awesome experience! Shailo and Fernán went above and beyond making this an incredible day! How they spotted some well camouflaged animals in the rain forest felt like magic. The chocolate making experience with the Bribri was incredible!

Shyla and Fernan were sooo Awesome! Shyla answered all my questions and was so knowledgeable and fun! What an incredible experience!

We had Caribe Fun Tours organize some of our accommodations and transport from place to place around Costa Rica. (I definitely recommend using a transport service, rather than driving yourself on the roads of northern, rural Costa Rica) We started in Liberia and finished 17 days later in San Jose. We asked for more up-scale accommodations, but several were not that nice including Oceans Two/Blue Mirador in Manuel Antonio. We expected to be picked up from a San Jose hotel at 4 AM to go to the airport for an early return flight. This private transfer, that was arranged by Caribe Fun Tours, did not show up. We waited and waited, called the office (they are closed overnight) and emailed. No response. We hastily arranged a trip to the airport and paid $50 USD cash (this transport was supposed to be included in the paid itinerary from Caribe Fun Tours). When I contacted Caribe Fun Tours, using all the email addresses I had, to find out what happened to this absent transport, and asked for reimbursement for the $50 USD, I have had NO response. Not even an acknowledgment of my emails or an apology. Nothing. Not impressed with that level of service. Up until this last morning (other than the disappointing hotel stay in Manuel Antonio), I would have given 4 stars. Because of the poor customer service when I needed help for something that Caribe Fun Tours had arranged, I dropped my rating to 2 stars.

This was an awesome day. We took the Cahuita National Park, BriBri chocolate and waterfall tour. Our guide, Shiloh, was amazing. Without hesitating, he’d stop and ask us what we saw, then tell us where to look. How he knew a sloth would be in that exact location is still a mystery but that’s what we get with best guide. We saw a dozen sloths at least, cappuccino monkeys, and too many birds, reptiles and insects to mention. In the van, he and Fernand told us stories of growing up in the area and a history of the land. Making chocolate with the BriBri nation was a lot of fun and eye opening. We got to taste the cocoa beans from immature beans, right through to roasting, grinding and making hot chocolate. The waterfall was a great cap off to the day. I only wish we had had the energy to enjoy the company of hosts more at this stop. A perfect day of enjoying the natural wonders of the Costa Rican Caribbean coast.

This is one of the best wildlife refuges in the country and everytime I go, Isee something new! And I usually go once a year! Just like the national parks, you see more wildlife in a wildlife refuge with a guide, so be sure to ask for one at your hotel or at the park entrance! I two hours or so I photographe 9 species of birds, 12 species of butterflies and 8 species of other wildlife! I'm just sharing 3 photos, one in each of those three categories.

One of the best nature hikes and guides we have ever experienced Our guide Adrian was extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of tour and gave us an incredible experience This cost of this tour was way under valued Personal fun and very accommodating Hard to express the overall experience Best part of our trip to Costa Rica

The two experiences were very different but both amazing. The work that is done by the Rescue Center was so interesting and heartwarming. Johnny was our guide. He has volunteered there for years and a perfect combination of humorous, informative and passionate. We were changed. Our Punta Uva hike was guided by Fernan. He was supposed to just be our driver but was great as a guide. Bit of a challenging hike for us old folks but so fun and again, informative

This tour was awesome! Booking the trip with Genesys was easy and she was personable and professional. Our guide Adrian definitely exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the area was unbelievable and his sloth finding skills were so impressive. 😲 👍👍

Friendly and professional service! My husband and I were lucky to meet this group and service. We travelled from San Jose to this beautiful beach town, and was referred to this company for our transportation needs, and we were very happy! We enjoyed the taxi services of the owner of this company and for other rides, we enjoyed the equally professional and fun service of the ‘Tuk Tuks’ which the same company provided. And was equally efficient, and very creative for this environment! We were very pleased by the friendly, efficient and professional service during these days spent on the Caribbean side. It’s our 2nd trip to Costa Rica, 1st trip to the Caribbean side, and I hope to return again! Very cool beach vibe, while at same time- felt safe and appreciated as a guest. Pura Vida!

We ended up booking 4 different tours with Caribe Fun Tours while staying in Punta Cocles and loved all of them. The guides - especially Shiloh who was our guide for this tour - were great. The best part of this tour for us was the Punta Uva beach hike and the number of birds/wildlife that we saw walking around that beach and to the lookout spot. Loved it! Would definitely recommend using Caribe Fun Tours while in Puerto Viejo area.

We ended up booking 4 different tours with Caribe Fun Tours while staying in Punta Cocles and loved all of them. The guides - especially Shiloh - were great. This specific tour had a nice combo of the Cahuita national park and its wildlife and then a really cool waterfall (and a very quick but full of wildlife hike to the waterfall). Would definitely recommend using Caribe Fun Tours while in Puerto Viejo area.

Not enough kudos to express the magic of Michelle’s hands for the numerous massages she has given me at Banana Azul in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. I’ve been coming to PV several times a year for a number of years and I’ve gotten massages everywhere from Cahuita to Manzanillo. I’ve paid triple the price at other places and none come close to her skill. Not even in the ballpark. She’s got a physical intuitiveness that guides her hands so that the pressure is exactly what your body requires. I always do 90 minute sessions and with her, I’m “in the zone “ almost immediately. She doesn’t run her mouth, doesn’t ask a bunch of inane questions- she just works. It’s a beautiful thing. I had to ASK the tour company for a means to leave her a review. That’s a crime because she’s so good her face should be on the marquee. It’s a part of the hotel, literally on the beach in a cool, well equipped, comfortable hut with the waves crashing a few feet away. Seriously, it’s just absolutely perfect. Ask for Michelle and make sure you get her. Two thumbs up, extremely high recommendation.

Our tour guide, Adrian, provided the best day! We so many animals that we would never have found without his expertise. He shared interesting insights and information and answered our many questions. The walk through Cahuita park was amazing. Our next stop was the Bri Bri chocolate (cacao) tour. So interesting and fun! It was so much more than a tour - cooking lesson and tasting of the indigenous method of making cacao along with a delicious lunch. Our last stop was the Bri Bri waterfall, which was a short hike down to a lovely swimming hole and waterfall. We watched local kids on holiday diving from the rocks while we enjoyed cooling off in the water and eating a delicious pineapple that Adrian brought along. Great guide, great day, great country. Pura Vida!

The Wildlife Rescue tour was great—I learned a lot about efforts to save rescued animals. And the animals themselves are both beautiful and adorable (sloths, turtles, deer, toucans, parrots, a margay cat, a caiman alligator and more). The trip to Punta Uva beach was beautiful, but I don’t think it’s worth spending extra money to add that to the itinerary. It’s easy to do on your own.
